Raghavendra Addanki
I am a final year PhD student in the College of Information and Computer Sciences at University of Massachusetts Amherst.
I am co-advised by Prof. Andrew McGregor and Prof. Cameron Musco.
Prior to this, I completed my undergraduate in Computer Science at IIT Madras in 2016.
From January-May 2022, I am participating in the Causality program at the Simons Institute for the Theory of Computing, located on the UC Berkeley campus.

I am currently looking for postdoctoral and industry research positions with a Summer/Fall 2022 start date. Please let me know if you have any openings.
Research Interests
I am broadly interested in the design and analysis of algorithms for data science. Recently, I have been working on identifying connections between discrete optimization and causal inference.
